On October 12, 2021, Mayor Pope tasked Councilmembers Juan Chadis, Shelia Patterson Harris, and Jeff GrifiFith to serve on a subcommittee regarding the Neighborhood Planning Program. The Subcommittee selected evaluation criteria for neighborhoods known as Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Using these KPI's, the City prepared a recommended list of the initial neighborhoods in East and North Lubbock to begin neighborhood planning efforts. The Lubbock City Council adopted a resolution to approve the first four neighborhoods recommended by the Neighborhood Planning Subcommittee. These neighborhoods in order are Dunbar-Manhattan Heights, Jackson-Mahon, Parkway and Cherry Point, and Arnett Benson. The first neighborhood planning process for East Lubbock began in was for Dunbar-Manhattan Heights. The neighborhood was engaged in for a year-long planning process focused on educating residents on zoning, land use and planning, and on collaboratively developing recommendations to implement in the neighborhood to support the city and community's goals. 1 �,� AREA OVERVIEW � �.____�._.,. _._,___...e...: - - �--� �.. �-_- �_ Dunbar-Manhattan Heights is a majority Black or African American neighborhood with a growing Hispanic or Latino population.

The data sets will compare and contrast present day data with the value of the data in 2010. These data sets include: population, race/ ethnicity, median household income, housing characteristics, and vacancy rates with the value of the data in 2010. The Existing Conditions section is designed to only show a baseline of neighborhood factors. This plan will use community input and surveying to help understand and analyze the current state of Dunbar- Manhattan Heights. The plan will use census tracts, which are statistical subdivisions of a county created by the US Census Bureau for data analysis, to determine the current state of the Dunbar-Manhattan Heights Neighborhood. Dunbar-Manhattan Heights is represented by Census Tract 12, Lubbock County. The neighborhood has a northern border of 19th street, eastern border of Loop 289, and a western border of Southeast Drive which creates a triangle. The earliest homes in Dunbar were built in the late 1940's. � ._ _-� --_y---- ��= �--. -- - - _ - . . t _ .. . T EaSt Lubbo�k Flrt HouSe � F � . . . ' . . . . . .

Demographic shifts explain macro-level information about a community and provide a broad understanding of the stability of a community. For the Dunbar Manhattan Heights community, two important statistics are the change in population over the last decade and the current median age of the neighborhood. Dunbar Manhattan Heights is a majority Black or African American neighborhood with a growing Hispanic or Latino population. Total Population in Dunbar-Manhattan Heights has been on a 22% decline since 2010 when the Dunbar population reached 2,554 people and currently rests at 2,003 people that reside in the community.

The median age for the entire community is 43.7 years old, which is 13 years older than the City of Lubbock's median age of 29.9. There are more working age women (ages 20-64) at a total of 686 women than men in that age group at 422 men. Conversely, for children under the age of 18, males outnumber females in Dunbar, 302 to 178. The total number of people in each gender seems to even out in the age group of 65 years of age and older. ... .... .... ... .... .... .. . •••• .... ... .... ... Race & Ethnicity Black and Hispanic residents make up almost the entirety of the Dunbar Manhattan Heights population, totaling 95.3% of the population, 72% Black and 23% Hispanic. White (non-Hispanic) residents comprise 2.3% of the neighborhood, followed by other races with 2% of the population, and Asian residents at 0.4% of the population. # Hispanic � White � Black Other Asian �/'��' r! 2.3% 2.0% 0.4% �� ccupations & Industries .....»............ � • • � • • • ■ ► r • • Analyzing which industries and occupations are prevalent in Dunbar can further illustrate the current state of the community. The most prominent occupations for residents of Dunbar are service jobs, followed by management, sales, and production occupations. Examples of service occupations specifically are: healthcare, transportation, education, real estate, and media occupations. Comparing the top occupations, service jobs and management, with the most prominent industry of employment for residents, educational services, the most common jobs for Dunbar residents are likely to be: teachers, school administrators, school support staff, coaches, advisors, and other school service providers. Residents also work in the arts, retail trade industries, and other services. . : _ - O DOQ .. �;��ti �`� -�,{�..'''?_ u ,��. r'► - . :..�_,�� ..:�. 5 S�'� i��,�r: Tik�j��.J.t��.� ' �.¢ � �� . ie"''T-,� - - ��... ,;�:' �1 �I:- •! i�;'. . : � .

This is slightly higher than the 1,024 units in 2010, which is an increase of 14%. The increase of housing units would seemingly contrast from the 22% decrease in total population during the same time period. Dunbar-Manhattan Heights has also transitioned from a community with a rate of 59°/o homeownership to a community with 37.2% homeownership, representing a 37% decrease in homeownership in the last decade. Dunbar-Manhattan Heights is currently a majority renter neighborhood. The prevalence of vacant properties in the neighborhood would explain how housing units increased while the population decreased. The increase in total housing units are most likely rental units based on the increase of renters in the community. Vacant properties have been on the rise since 2010, at a 71% increase since the 2010 Census. Vacant properties have a major impact on the current and future state of the neighborhood. These areas have `a depressive economic and social effect on the neighborhood and tend to attract illegal activity due to ��f the lack of activity on vacant parcels. The result of vacancies can impact surrounding land values. In 2010, the median housing value in Dunbar was $78,865.79 (in 2021 dollars) and, as of 2021, the median housing value shrank to $64,400. That results in a drop of 18% in home value across the neighborhood. It would take a specific review of the housing market of Dunbar to analyze all of the factors that have affected home values, but the increase in vacant housing units is a major factor in the change in housing value. Coinciding with changes in housing value in Dunbar, Median Household Income in Dunbar decreased by 13%o from $30,099 (in 2021 dollars) in 2010 to $26,265 in 2021. During the same time period, the City of Lubbock's Median Household Income rose 3%. It is important to note that this decrease could be a result of Dunbar's residents working mostly in service industries that were highly affected by COVID-19. The decrease could also be a result of a smaller amount of working age families that would typically be the highest earning demographic in any community. �' 1[ � �-. ;: _�� t� : ; � �. _� , . �s,; � �.� : • � � i � h 'y� �_ _ — _ ��:.:��;,:�:� �. , �j� �` � 1{ ; � �. ��;:..- - ` r' � .L �1�� • ri'• Zi�� , � �fi� �� , '. �..�:'�� . � � - � ..�. .-.-.-.....f. �- . ,�"� - .� ��r �,�.�� r: � - - •-T�``7�r �k�l��. .. �. . ... . �. . _. r .. . �. � -., .

The census tract can really be divided into two sections, north and south of 37th Street. Both sections are west of Lake 6. The northern section is primarily zoned residential. The area between 35th Street and 37th Street is filled with vacant lots and is zoned industrial. The southern section is zoned industrial. Commercially zoned properties make up less than 1% of tlie neighborhood. A new zoning overlay district was created in the Unified Development Code which went into effect in October, 2023. The Neighborhood Overlay Qistrict will allow mixed uses within established zoning districts. This will allow for more commercial opportunities in the community. This plan will include recommendations that can help produce a sustainable residential base for the long term health of the community in later sections. ! �� N� � ..; �y� i I L�""�r.._.� __'_ ��i��i��i��iii��r� y� � Dunbar-Manhattan Heights Land Uses •_---_____.:�_.�:�.--_ -T_ � � Industrial 0 Other � Residential � Commercial � � OQ � ► 3 --� .. il[�n�, ne: �i �. � Tf s 71y1 � n. r:c �-• � '` �. . r 4 � � .

The procedural advice on how best to conduct outreach and engagement includes: -� Recognizing there are concerns with transparency and trust with the City of Lubbock and outside organizations. �j Emphasized that success of the neighborhood planning process requires community education and understanding, especially around how the plan gets implemented. �1 Relayed there is a fear that there is "already a master plan" and consultants are just going along with it. That the planning process is somehow "window dressing" to something already underway that has no community input. �j The need to do grassroots organizing around this process to engage the diverse ages and ethnicities. �l There is a perception that "the city doesn't care" because it subjects children to the trucks and unsafe crosswalks. �j The need to reach out to LISD to get engagement with the students, parents and teachers. �j Open dialogue with the neighborhood association. � Open, truthful, transparent and inclusive bidirectional communication �j Locations for outreach including the Boys and Girls Club, going to football games, Lyons Chapel, using social media such as facebook and instagram. �j Emphasized that texting is a good method of communication.

A concern that "renters are not interested in the community" leading to high turnover of residents. � A desire to connect and provide services to the changing demographic populations in the neighborhood (previously the elementary school was 80-85% African American students, now it's closer to 65% and in the last year there have been students needing ESL services. That isn't offered at Ervine, so they have to transfer out). �j A desire to address some of the "immutables" in the community such as the metal reclamation place, the city cemetery, grain elevator, and railroad tracks. �1 Removing and remediating the eye sores and health threats that have caused sounds, smells and toxic waste exposure for years for public health reasons but changing the industrial zoning and addressing grandfathered uses. � Student safety in and through the neighborhood for walking across Martin L. King Boulevard and � other streets. Need playgrounds and play areas besides the schools to attract people to live on the east side. � . � ; - �;i, I: :� ��Y � + II I +f � , I ��: � �� ' •-�� :,�, _.�.. � ��!!" ti :� .:- . � '�, � . �' � �; � ,,�_ ;� � : i� ��"" — - :. � �� -�t � .�: � . _. � � �'. �1 -�'` a �� . `•l�y�. �� : .� � . .` � ►� ��r�� /�� , �r::r � •��: �. � _� r,; .--- - � � -, a � ,_�. �� _: _. : �J�� .,. �L: �� ;� � r � �� - �r� � �.°i .';�: �l �: �1� � � FIRST COMMUNITY MEETING: NOVEMBER 2022 . . .. .. . .. .. ..

PlaceIt! Method , ;; ; .. . Everyone in the neighborhood, regardless of their age, had the opportunity to share their ideas about the neighborhood's vision. This was done with a two-part hands-on activity that included storytelling, objects, art-making, collaboration and play. Participants began by reflecting on their favorite childhood memory and used everyday objects to build their memory. Not only did participants get comfortable with the materials but also had the opportunity to introduce themselves when sharing their memory in a meaningful way with others. Second, participants were divided into groups and were tasked with building their ideal neighborhood. There were no rules, each group decided on their topics of interest. All groups were asked to present their neighborhood model. Throughout the entire session, one of the facilitators took notes, on a large post-it for all to see, throughout the entire session. To wrap-up, the participants were asked about solutions, themes, and values brought up during the session. Not only was this information used to create the vision, but also provided insight to the other sections of the neighborhood plan. This inclusive process helped residents develop a collective vision for the neighborhood based on people's values and life experiences. 'Place It' was created by James Rojas, urban planner, community activist, and artist — this innovative public- engagement and community-visioning method has been used throughout the world including various places in the United States, South America, and Europe. �.J � r I � e y 1. ... �.: � ��,:� ,� � �� . � '_ '� �� ' �y�t i�* y �'4e �� '� �9^.:� ` tif. ,f�� M1 � . k' �� . „ �1�� '. ��• � �' �� A y .W��.

The recommendations for the neighborhood plan are captured in one or many of the themes listed below. Themes for the Neighborhood Plan include: History & Culture (� The desire to enhance the history and culture of the Dunbar-Manhattan Heights neighborhood was a theme that emerged throughout the community engagement process for the plan. This includes beautification efforts such as sign toppers and enhancing and expanding signage throughout the neighborhood to promote `placemaking'. Adding murals, way-finding mechanisms throughout the parks (signs, maps, historical markers, walkways and paths), and flowers or greenery throughout medians and high traffic areas were also identified. This also included supporting existing small businesses, enhancing community gathering places (like the Mae Simmons Pool House), and promoting programming to uplift the history in the community. The recommendations in the plan promote enhancing the ways that history, culture and the sense of place are created and maintained in the Dunbar-Manhattan Heights neighborhood.

King Boulevard, and to promote economic growth in other strategic corridors such as the 19th Street and Southeast Drive corridors were key themes that evolved throughout the engagement process and analysis. This includes providing the appropriate zoning to allow for small businesses and larger commercial retail options to thrive in those economic zones. This also includes providing incentives for economic growth in these corridors to increase access to more grocery shopping opportunities, commercial retail, restaurants, and areas for youth to socialize. Public Health & Safety � Public health concerns arose throughout the community engagement process for this plan. This includes concerns around asthma prevalence, exposure to high levels of air pollution due to proximity to industrial land uses, attacks by loose or stray dogs, lack of access to healthcare or other health related resources, mental health concerns caused by stress, poverty, and lack of access to healthy foods, and safe recreational opportunities for people of all ages. This also includes the prevalence of gun violence and drug use, which many residents see as a result of a lack of job opportunities and productive recreational options within the community. Finally, ensuring homes are secured and repaired instead of left vacant, abandoned, or vandalized, is a priority that is included under health and safety. Because of this, many of the recommendations in this plan align with promoting public health and addressing the issues raised through neighborhood planning. C�� Mobilit� & Connectivity � The lack of quality roadways, pedestrian routes, and connectivity to other parts of the city using public transportation was a concern throughout the engagement process. Ensuring that roadways are safe for cars, pedestrians, and other modes of transportation like biking, is a priority in this neighborhood. This also includes connectivity within and around the community through the parks, trails, and green spaces. Similarly, having a voice in the upcoming changes to the Citibus routes is important. �� OUNBAR MANNATTAN NEI6NTS NEIGHBORNOOD P1AM tlr� W b W ww.�. w Ovba WMM'R��4sAz�11�1 iwe M w.Y Vr v . 4�rI� ib piFr Y Ii w+r4 r wH.n ti�1..r�►sraM wn �bw../ �i.�.. �w� rw f�bM�tiwa W�w/�1 �'MT� w Rw � q �M wf!
